karanguni: some things make more sense upside down  (ARTHUR rewinds)
I am bracing for some not-great news at work (as in something in which outcomes are going to not be as good as expected as opposed to a net negative, but I've been promised good things for so long that not getting them is going to make me deeply dissatisfied) on Monday and it's put me more or less in mental trench. I'm trying to decide where my thresholds are for staying at my current position versus looking for greener pastures when the local microcosm of my superiors is good in spite of a hatefully provisioned evil mega corporate umbrella. Do I stay for the opportunity, or leave for more industry-standard salaries but potentially shitty co-workers? I just don't know. But I know I'm tired of being undervalued in monetary - if not social/work clout - terms.

Snowflake 5: Recommend a fannish or creative resource.

I like writing in WriteMonkey on Windows. I don't really have any particular resource - that's all fandom dependent. I have plenty of coding related resources, but...

 

A universe of unmapped grief and love
And new master light is beyond
The pleiades and plow and southern stars.

O soaring
Icarus of outworld, burn bright
The traceries of known skymarks,
Slide the highway planets behind
Your clear waxed wings.

Go conquer the everywhere left
Beyond your sad confinement
In a predicted bonehouse,
Witch thrown riddle of flesh
And water.

O soar until nothing
remains but great glittering holes
In the black godspun shirt over your head.
